Linux / Unix client for Webcasting
Hi, I used the VideoLan client (www.videolan.org) instead of MPlayer. I found it much more rich featured. It can turn unicast stream into multicast or vice versa. It can record into hard-drive. It supports also almost any known OS. --> Jarno Lähteenmäki

I haven't tried this myself, but if it does support the Windows Media 9 Audio codec, go for it. Currently MPlayer does _NOT_ support this codec, which is closing out any unix/linux/*bsd users from hearing the sessions as our encoding only supports Windows Media 9 audio codecs. The obvious solution is that we change our encoder to use the previous codec (as used in Barcelona in May). Unfortunately, MS is not making the Windows Media 8 Audio codec available for their encoder (they do for the player) anymore. I'm somewhat redfaced that I didn't keep the original install file before having the machines reinstalled at the moment. -- Bruce Campbell RIPE Systems/Network Engineer NCC www.ripe.net - PGP562C8B1B Operations/Security

Is there any way you can recode the streams? I'd really like to see some of the sessions, and I cannot use windows. Bert Vermeulen bert.vermeulen@be.easynet.net
Hi, I also noticed the audio codec problem just now. The standard videolan client can't play audio (video is ok thougth). I found free MP9 audio codec and I try to get it working with videolan client. I'll let you know when I have something new to tell... --> Jarno Lähteenmäki --> Finnet Com Oy On Wed, 3 Sep 2003, Bert Vermeulen wrote:
